How can you determine reasonable accommodations by an employer?

July 1, 2014 by Karen Hill | Filed Under: Law

To determine reasonable accommodations, the courts look at the details of the employer, the size of the company, what the employee requested, how crucial this employee is to the business, how other employees of different religions are treated, and all other details surrounding this case.

Courts probably will not force the employer to put the business in jeopardy to accommodate a key employee’s extended absenteeism, but they may require that the employer be flexible in that person’s working hours so that the employee can leave early for church services and make up the time on another day.
